Luke 16
1 He also said to his talmidim, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Zvino wakataurawo kuvadzidzi vake achiti: Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waiva nemutariri; iye wakapomerwa kwaari seanoparadza nhumbi dzake.
2 He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
Zvino wakamudana akati kwaari: Chii ichi chandinonzwa nezvako? Rondedzera nezveutariri hwako; nokuti hauchazogoni kuva mutariri.
3 "The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Zvino mutariri wakati mukati make: Ndichaitei, sezvo ishe wangu wonditorera utariri? Handigoni kuchera, kupemha ndinonyara.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
Ndaziva zvandichaita, kuti kana ndabudiswa pautariri, vandigamuchire mudzimba dzavo.
5 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
Zvino wakadanira kwaari umwe neumwe wavakange vane chikwereti kuna ishe wake, akati kune wekutanga: Une chikwereti chakadini kuna ishe wangu?
6 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvemafuta. Ndokuti kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, ugare pasi nekukurumidza unyore makumi mashanu.
7 Then he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
Ndokuti kune umwe: Newe, une chikwereti chakadini? Iye ndokuti: Zviyero zana zvezviyo. Akati kwaari: Tora rugwaro rwako, unyore makumi masere.
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
Zvino ishe wakarumbidza mutariri asakarurama, nokuti wakange aita nekuchenjera; nokuti vana venyika ino vakachenjera pazera ravo kukunda vana vechiedza. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Neni ndinoti kwamuri: Muzviitire shamwari nafuma wekusakarurama, kuti kana musingachagoni, vakugamuchirei mudzimba dzekusingaperi. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Wakatendeka pachidikisa wakatendekawo pachikuru, neusakarurama pachidikisa haana kururamawo pachikuru.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Naizvozvo kana musina kutendeka pana fuma usakarurama, ndiani achakubatisai chinhu chechokwadi?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
Uye kana musina kutendeka pane cheumwe, ndiani achakupai chenyu?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and wealth."
Hakuna muranda anogona kubatira madzitenzi maviri; nokuti zvimwe achavenga umwe, ndokuda umwe; kana kuti achanamatira kune umwe, agozvidza umwe. Hamugoni kubatira Mwari nafuma.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Zvino neVaFarisi vakange vari vadi vemari, vakanzwa zvinhu izvi zvese, vakamuseka.
15 He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.
Zvino wakati kwavari: Imwi ndimwi vanozviruramisa pamberi pevanhu, asi Mwari anoziva moyo yenyu; nokuti icho chinokwiridzirwa pakati pevanhu, chinyangadzo pamberi paMwari.
16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Murairo nevaporofita zvaivapo kusvikira kuna Johwani; kubva ipapo ushe hwaMwari hunoparidzwa, uye umwe neumwe anosenerera mahuri.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
Asi zvakareruka kuti denga nenyika zvipfuure, pakuti chidodzi chimwe chemurairo chiwe.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
Ani nani anoramba mukadzi wake akawana umwe anoita upombwe; uye ani nani anowana wakarambwa kumurume anoita upombwe.
19 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
Kwakange kune umwe munhu mufumi, waipfeka zvine ruvara rwehute nemicheka yakaisvonaka, nekufara paumbozha mazuva ese.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
Zvino kwakange kune umwe mupemhi wainzi Razaro, wakange akaiswa pasuwo rake azere maronda,
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
uye waishuva kugutswa nezvimedu zvaiwa patafura yemufumi; asi kunyange imbwa dzaiuya dzichinanzva maronda ake.
22 It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
Zvino zvakaitika kuti mupemhi wakafa, akatakurirwa nevatumwa kuchifuva chaAbhurahama; mufumi akafawo, akavigwa.
23 In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Zvino ari muhadhesi wakasimudza meso ake, ari pamarwadzo, akaona Abhurahama ari kure, naRazaro ari pachifuva chake. (Hadēs g86)
24 He called out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue. For I am in anguish in this flame.'
Iye ndokudanidzira akati: Baba Abhurahama, ndinzwirei tsitsi, mutume Razaro, kuti anyike muromo wemunwe wake mumvura, atonhodze rurimi rwangu; nokuti ndinorwadziswa mumurazvo uyu.
25 "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
Asi Abhurahama wakati: Mwana, rangarira kuti iwe muupenyu hwako wakagamuchira zvakanaka zvako, saizvozvo naRazaro zvakaipa; asi zvino iye anonyaradzwa, uye iwe unorwadziwa.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'
Uye pamusoro peizvi zvese, pakati pedu nemwi pane mukaha mukuru wakaiswa, kuti vanoda kuyambuka kubva kuno vachiuya kwamuri vakonewe, neveko varege kuyambukira kwatiri.
27 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
Iye ndokuti: Naizvozvo ndinokukumbirisai, baba, kuti mumutumire kuimba yababa vangu,
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
nokuti ndine vanakomana vamai vangu vashanu, kuti anyatsovapupurira, zvimwe ivowo vangauya panzvimbo ino yemarwadzo.
29 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
Abhurahama akati kwaari: Mozisi nevaporofita vanavo; ngavanzwe ivo.
30 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Iye ndokuti: Kwete, baba Abhurahama; asi kana umwe akaenda kwavari kubva kuvakafa, vachatendeuka.
31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
Asi wakati kwaari: Kana vasingateereri Mozisi nevaporofita, havangatendiswi kunyange kana umwe akamuka kubva kuvakafa.
